Walking inside, the maids that were working held a gawking expression at the sudden appearance of Krista Dragoon.

"Isn't that Princess Krista Dragoon?" A maid mumbled softly as her eye socket almost popped out.

"It is Princess Krista Dragoon," Another maid added as she quickly stopped what she was doing.

Some other maids were cleaning a wall while some were cleaning the tables and other pieces of furniture, quickly dropped their cleaning material once they heard it was Krista Dragoon appearing in the Camellia family.

All the maids quickly walked up to Krista Dragoon and bowed slightly to pay their respect. 

Afterward, they said in unison, "Welcome Princess Krista Dragoon to the Camellia family."

As a maid, it was their duty to show hospitality to guests, especially when the guest has a prestigious identity.

Alas, they remained ignorant about the fact that Krista Dragoon and Zen basically barged in because they weren't authoritative enough to be informed.

"You can stop the etiquette as we're here to meet with your patriarch," Krista Dragoon smiled briefly as she permitted them to stand tall.

The maids gladly complied with her request as they stood up and said, "It's the Camellia family's honor to be able to host Princess Krista Dragoon."

"The patriarch is currently in his office and is going through a meeting with the young miss and young master." Another maid said kindly and pointed in a direction, without knowing that she had just exposed their own patriarch lies in front of Zen and Krista Dragoon.

"Oh, the patriarch is very healthy right?" Krista Dragoon made a surprised expression as she asked for their patriarch's well-being.

The maid, who didn't know what kind of trouble she had put herself into, smiled happily, "Our patriarch is extremely healthy and can definitely lead the Camellia family for more than 400 years without any problems."

'Heh, can lead the Camellia family for more than 400 years yet he told us he is ill and can't meet with us. Ai, I can't wait to meet with him already.' Zen sneered inwardly as he retrieved a small bag that contained some spirit stones from his spatial ring.

Afterward, Zen placed the small bag in the maid's hand that kindly explained everything they needed to know.

"Here are some spirit stones for your hard work. You can also share those among your fellow maids if you want." Zen said in a gentle tone, shocking the maid deeply when she opened the small bag and saw around 50 spirit stones.

"T-This gentleman, I-I cannot accept this amount of spirit stones. It's too much and I didn't do anything amazing." The maid stuttered as she quickly tried to return the spirit stones back to Zen.

Although the spirit stones that Zen gave are an astronomical amount for her because a maid's salary is only 2-3 spirit stones per month, she has the dignity and resolution to not take any money that she hasn't rightfully earned.

Zen smiled gently and said, "You can call me Zen, and trust me, those spirit stones that I gave to you- are worth the information you gave us."

"B-But this is still too much, Z-Zen," The maid continued to shake her head and tried to return the spirit stones to Zen.

However, Zen refuses to take back what he has given out already and those spirit stones aren't a lot to make him feel pain. He may be a stingy person but he wasn't stingy enough to not give out rewards to those who deserved it.

Zen saw the name tag of the maid that labeled 'Nichol' and smiled at her. 

"Nichol, remember this sentence, those who do well deserve to be rewarded and if they continue to act humble then they will only be labeled as a hypocrite." Zen patted Nichol's shoulders and continued.

"Hence, you should just accept my spirit stones since your fellow maids are already drooling over the amount. So why not share them with your fellow co-worker and enjoy yourself for once?"

Nichol listened to his sentence diligently and was dumbfounded when she heard his last sentence. 

She looked around the room and saw many maids showing an envious look at her or more precisely, the small bag in her hand that she's currently holding.

"Nichol, just accept it and thank Zen," A maid whispered softly to Nichol and the rest of the maids nodded their heads.

Nichol clenched onto the small bag with a complicated expression but seeing the eager expression of the rest of the maids, she sighed softly.

"Since Zen is a generous man and believed that I deserve this reward even though I don't know what kind of worthy achievement I did- I shall share this money with the rest of the maids," Nichol stared at Zen and accepted his gift.

The maids almost wanted to scream loudly in excitement when they imagined sharing the 50 spirit stones among themselves.

There were around 6 maids in total, counting Nichol in, meaning they can divide the 50 spirit stones by 6 and the remaining leftover would be for Nichol to decide.

"Good, now spread that happiness around because I can tell the maids want to touch those spirit stones," 

Zen laughed heartily as he left the room with Krista Dragoon, leaving the rest of the maids that seemed to become zombies, thirsting over the small bag in Nichol's hand.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon glanced at Zen with a disbelief expression. 

Previously, they were surrounded by the maids and it was unsuitable to talk with him so she waited until they left the maid's view to chat with Zen.

"I didn't know you could be generous enough to give out 50 spirit stones like that. After all, I have heard from the others that you were unwilling to spend much money and would instead hoard them like crazy." Krista Dragoon said.

"Indeed, I'm a money-grubber but there are times when you need to establish good relationships and the most simple way to do that is by giving them spirit stones."

Zen made an evil grin as he placed his hand around the back of his head, shocking Krista Dragoon for his insidious mind.
